STIR FRY BEEF:

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons of oil.

500-gram steak cut into thin slices.

2 tablespoons of cornstarch.

4 cups mixed vegetables.

1 Onion finely chopped.

2 Tomatoes diced.

1 Green pepper/red/yellow

3 cloves of garlic minced

1/4 teaspoon ginger

⅓ cup orange juice

⅓ cup of water

1 tablespoon cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Season steak with salt and pepper. Toss with cornstarch and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.

2) Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or wok. Cook the beef over medium heat until browned, about 3-4 minutes (beef does not need to be cooked). Remove from pan and set aside.

3) Add onions, green pepper and tomatoes then add vegetables to the pan and cook until soft-crisp, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside with the beef.

6) Bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water (or broth) and add it to the broth a little at a time while whisking to reach the desired consistency.

7) Simmer for 2 minutes. Add vegetables, beef (and any juices) to the pan and cook until heated through.

Serve with rice.
